Raquel Julich (née Castro, of Cleveland fame) was awarded the Woman of the Year Award by the National Conference of Puerto Rican Women (NaCOPRW) on Sept. 16 on the Marina del Rey yacht, that was launched on the East River, adjacent to New York City.
Julich has had almost 24 seasons as a radio-TV-press reporter from Yankee and Shea Stadiums in New York City, working with English/Spanish media. She is recognized as the Spanish language “Primera Dama en Deportes,” starting her own bilingual sports radio programming in 1985, called Foreign Radio.
